Stitch 'n Bitch-dag Nederland 2006 is coming!
In just two weeks, Stitch 'n Bitch-dag Nederland will be here! Here's the website if you want more information (there's also an English version): Stitch 'n Bitch-dag 2006. There'll be a number of stands from various shops selling all sorts of knitting supplies! There are also quite a few talks and workshops. I've already registered, though I may want to make some changes... I hope that's allowed! ^^ I signed up for one talk, "The design possibilities of the patentsteek" by Nancy Marchant (I'm not sure what patentsteek is in English, but it's supposed to be an elastic stitch that's the same on both sides, from what I can tell) and three workshops: "Shadow knitting", "Patchwork knitting" and "Patentsteek". I'm quite excited about it all! I can't wait! Lots to learn and lots to buy! Woohoo!
I also found out about another course that will be offered over five Saturdays from December 16 until April 7. It is a course on Norwegian Circular Knitting, i.e., Fair Isle knitting in the round with a lesson in steeking. It's offered by Stichting Nederlands Centrum voor Handwerken. The only problem is that I leave on the 16th of December to go home for the holidays.... Don't think missing the very first meeting is a good idea... I emailed the teacher, and hopefully we can work something out.
Well, that's quite a lot of knitting classes. All this time in Amsterdam and not many knitting classes have been offered, and all of the sudden, there seems to be a deluge! When it rains, it pours, eh? ^^ Hope my budget can handle it all! LOL. (of course, I'll make it!)

If there is a class you want to give up in favor of another-- shadow knitting. You can pick it up from books easily enough. I can even send you a pattern for a shadow swatch to make.
very cool - I hope you have a great time! ~SP9~
thanks for the suggestion polly. actually, the shadow-knitting workshop wasn't in conflict with any other. it was between a lecture called 'color confidence' and a workshop on entrelac (patchwork). i opted for the color lecture... we'll see how it goes!
